What a beautiful garden you had and I am sure your new one will be just as beautiful in time. What a lovely redbud tree you had. Mine died this summer I think the heat and lack of water was just too much stress on an old tree. I too am longing for spring but since we still haven't had winter here in KC I wake every morning knowing we will have inches of snow on the ground.

I didn't "know you" back at your old house,so it was nice to see your garden there. I do love a spring garden. Have fun planning your new one. I'll look forward to your "host of golden daffodils" as Wordsworth would say!

wow, how lovely. i too can smell spring & know it's right around the corner. the hubby & i keep trying to get our periwinkle to take off & slowly it is working. but it takes time. i know in time you will have a beautiful garden there as well. you have the green thumbs ... i can see it. (:

Not dreaming of spring yet but your pictures are a wonderful reminder of what's to come.You showed a picture of some beautiful blue flowers...what type is that? So pretty.I love old fashioned flowers and perennials but have yet to find any of the old-fashioned that survive our Oklahoma heat. Maybe I'm getting the wrong kind. :/

All of these pics made me smile!Thank you for that!! Your garden(s) are so beautiful! You have a green thumb for sure :)Spring will be here soon. Every January I begin to dread this. Weird, I know! Although I love spring, it is followed by the dreaded heat and humidity of summer. ugh. I am hearing that because our winter has been so mild, that means a mild summer. Hooray! I sure hope so; last summer was awful, wasn't it!Hope you and Keith are having a lovely day!xo, misha

Please don't move into spring just yet Maura because that would mean I'd be heading into Autumn and I don't think I'm ready just yet.

I loved looking back at your garden. Isn't it fantastic to have the photos to revisit whenever you wish?Remember its the journey and not the destination which can apply to your new garden...how exciting to have a clear canvas. Lots of hard work but it sounds like Hubby is a treasure.Have a wonderful week :D

It was great to walk through the garden again with you - brought back so many treasured memories! I know your garden will be just as beautiful. You've already gotten a great start with your little fairy garden and I know with your talent, there will be lots of surprises in your new garden. We're still covered with snow so certainly not thinking of planting anything yet! I'll live through yours until we can! Thanks again...love and miss you....Scufty xoxoxoxoxo
